Some people here do not understand that the creator of this app, which is created from the website "Baka Tsuki," is not responsible for the translation of light novels, but instead there are other people who translates them. That is why it's called a "fan translation." If you don't see a series that you want to read in this app, it is not translated, or the translation is located elsewhere. So please don't make a negative review just because you didn't see a series that you want to read. Translating light novels is a very hard thing to do, and the translators gave up some of their time to translate for our own entertainment. Anyways, I'll talk about the app. Design is simplistic which makes the app easy to use, and my favorite is that the "resume novel" option works great! The only problem I have is that this app drains quite a lot on my phone and makes it warm. It feels like I'm gaming, but I'm just reading! Please fix this issue if possible.

No filter ability, be it filter by genre, tags or search by text. Make me cant find my preferred novel, the conclusion is This app is USELESS. Better search novel from browser.

I would've loved to give it a higher rank but I was expecting for it to have more content.. I can't see the anime novels I've been looking for.

Some of the LN in the website aren't yet uploaded in the app. Please address the issue asap

I would give it higher but it doesn't seem to have a translation setting for a light novel I want to read in English.

I really want to like this app but I am not getting any light novels in English.

Sweet Really cool app, smart design with how downloads work. Took me a minute to figure out bookmarking but once I did I was like "Oh, that's cool!". My only question: Is there any criteria for which novels get added? Seems like manga isn't part of the library which makes sense. Oh wait, just read the description, didn't know there was a website! Cool stuff and great app!

The apps is wonderful. The light novels are downloadable, and there's an option for night mode. This major issue is that they need to expand the amount of novels. I want to read the ones I want to read, but I can't find them since they haven't been placed in yet. Please do that soon. It'd make the app much better

there are only a few novels and instead of loading the novel in the app like you would expect, it just links you to their website which defeats the purpose. if i wanted to read the novels on my web browser i would just go to the site myself

This is really pointless. Only the information about the chapters are available on the app. To actually read the novels, the app redirects you to a web page which is opened in your mobile browser, which defeats the purpose of this app. If i wanted to read on my browser, i would just have opened my browser and read on any website.

Guys, all the good manga reader apps are being removed from google play in this massive ban wave. download this right now so you have a backup novel app when this gets taken down (often, the app devs will come back with same logo, slightly different name of app and company, and coded slightly different causing bugs that weren't there before....) so get this app now before the normies at google ban this too. i had no issues with this app yet, will update if i hit an issue.

Very good job there, BakaDev. Loads fast, extensive catalog and the database is fairly small. No problems when reading either. For all those who complain about being sent to the web browser, you are probably reading linked projects which are NOT stored in Baka-Tsuki, and therefore impossible to read in the app. Please do check before complaining.

Perfect to read light novels (tho nothing is better than reading an actual book if you ask me)... Well as an app user it is easy to use and whats more it can be used offline so no battery drain for data connections and wifi! If it would have all light novels translated then I would rate this 6 stars xD

List vanished I already used this for years without problems but now the latest version, my list vanished. Fortunately, I have my backup. But if I opened Illustrations, and I go back to home, the list vanished. I am forced to restore backup again. Please resolve this issue.

This app is useless. Don't download it. I just barely bought an Internet box all brand new and all but I just a simple thing.... I like really!?? I cannot read my favorite manga ?? Because of a dumb useless app. I hate it. If I was in charge of Google Play I'd take your app down. It sucks.

Yup, STILL NO FULLSCREEN I was forced to update from version 1.30 because of some stupid url change bs. I cannot fullscreen anymore, even if I select 'enable fullscreen' all it does is replace the notification bar with a plain gray bar. It has also become much slower than before. How the hell does the version from two years ago beat the crap out of this one? It doesn't make sense. FIX THIS.
